| Additional information |
Huvishka's reign produced an unusually diverse divine pantheon on his coinage — more deity types appear under his rule than under any other Kushan king. Ardoksho, derived from the Avestan Aši Vanuhi, was the Zoroastrian goddess of fortune and prosperity, absorbed into the Kushan religious framework alongside Hellenistic, Indic, and Bactrian deities with deliberate eclecticism. The cornucopia variant is catalogued separately by Göbl precisely because attribute combinations were not interchangeable — each pairing carried distinct iconographic weight within the mint's production hierarchy.
